“The Map of The Psyche” ~ Jungian model

I’ve been fascinated by the human psyche for many years and have explored a lot of Carl Jung’s psychology theories.

In 2024 having endured a really difficult time of family related trauma around addition I found myself in counselling with an amazing counsellor called Dr Jo Murphy who is a Jungian analysis, I’ve stuck to having sessions with her ever since! This has allowed me to not only heal through deep emotional layers but discover patterns and articulate varying facets of my own psychological framework.

Was a commission piece for Dr Murphy.

Jung’s model explained.

The psyche consists of conscious and unconscious elements, with the ego at the center of consciousness and the self at the center of the whole psyche.
The persona is the mask presented to the world, while the shadow contains repressed, forgotten, or unlived aspects of the self.
Anima (in men) and animus (in women) represent the inner opposite-gender aspects that mediate between the individual and the inner world.
Psychological growth involves integrating the unconscious with the conscious, especially through engaging with the shadow and other unconscious complexes.
The goal of individuation is an ongoing journey toward becoming one’s true self.

Therapeutic Art at work ~ Forest school (trauma informed)

I introduced a student to wet felt making this week making one side by side with him. It’s great to get to make art at work 😁

Although a lot of our students struggle with low self esteem and first off think ‘I don’t know if I can do that’?! but with gentle guidance and encouragement they work through the process, tap into they’re own creativity and have fun with it, learn something new (develop new neuro pathways) and produce something to show for it at the end…. For them It’s the opportunity to help forge self development, trust and confidence building that is far more valuable than just the final result 🙂 it’s healing through creativity.


Believe me it’s not without challenges for both student and teacher! Personal growth all round! X
